In the mtk_dsi driver, its DSI host attach callback calls
devm_drm_of_get_bridge() to get the next bridge. If that next bridge is
a panel bridge, a panel_bridge object is allocated and managed by the
panel device.
Later, if the attach callback fails with -EPROBE_DEFER from subsequent
component_add(), the panel device invoking the callback at probe time
also fails, and all device-managed resources are freed accordingly.
This exposes a drm_bridge bridge_list corruption due to the unbalanced
lifecycle between the DSI host and the panel devices: the panel_bridge
object managed by panel device is freed, while drm_bridge_remove() is
bound to DSI host device and never gets called.
The next drm_bridge_add() will trigger UAF against the freed bridge list
object and result in kernel panic.
This bug is observed on a MediaTek MT8188-based Chromebook with MIPI DSI
outputting to a DSI panel (DT is WIP for upstream).
As a fix, using devm_drm_bridge_add() with the panel device in the panel
path seems reasonable. This also implies a chain of potential cleanup
actions:
1. Removing drm_bridge_remove() means devm_drm_panel_bridge_release()
becomes hollow and can be removed.
2. devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() is almost emptied except for the
`bridge->pre_enable_prev_first` line. Itself can be also removed if
we move the line into drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(). (maybe?)
3. drm_panel_bridge_add_typed() now calls all the needed devm_* calls,
so it's essentially the new devm_drm_panel_bridge_add_typed().
4. drmm_panel_bridge_add() needs to be updated accordingly since it
calls drm_panel_bridge_add_typed(). But now there's only one bridge
object to be freed, and it's already being managed by panel device.
I wonder if we still need both drmm_ and devm_ version in this case.
(maybe yes from DRM PoV, I don't know much about the context)
This is a RFC patch since I'm not sure if my understanding is correct
(for both the fix and the cleanup). It fixes the issue I encountered,
but I don't expect it to be picked up directly due to the redundant
commit message and the dangling devm_drm_panel_bridge_release().
I plan to resend the official patch(es) once I know what I supposed to
do next.
For reference, here's the KASAN report from the device:
